Tftf. Used a stick. All good with this cache

After looking in the wrong spot with what looked like some decent red herrings, finally found it tftc

Quick find here TFTC

TFTC. Easy find.

Taurus Six and I have taken an extra day off work to make it a five day Easter Break after meandering our way through the Metro suburbs yesterday. Today is day two of our break and we are here in the beautiful Swan Valley . We wanted to balance exploring the area with leisurely long winery lunches and of course as much geocaching as possible. The day was a beautifully sunny day just enough of an autumn feel with a little bit of cool in the morning and in the evening once the sun has gone down . The morning started off with an abundance of kangaroos, parrots and ducks which was delightful to observe . We picked of a number of Adventure Lab elements and traditional caches throughout the morning and late afternoon, there was an abundance to choose from which made it very enjoyable. This was our seventh cache find of the day along with nearby Adventure Lab elements . It was a little tricky to park here due to the way we had come to it and for some reasons there ere more cars around than for the rest of the morning combined. The find was still nice and easy and we soon had it logged s replaced. Thanks for the cache parkacruz.

Quick find but alas no camels today.

Cool thanks

A quick find here today as GZ was not too busy. Needed a cache starting with "9" for a challenge, so happy to make the find! Thank you for the cache parkacruz.

Out and about again, a wet day so it was slow going. Headed up to Swan Valley area of Perth.
Met up with N2O in my journeys and supplied some help too.

Found a variety of hides and in different areas which made for a nice day. Generally quick finds today

Thanks to all the CO’s for the hides I found.

Couldn’t see anything at the coords

This was a clever hide, but no camels sadly.
It took me a few mins to figure out my entry point ... TFTC SL

No camels, one horse, lots of traffic, 2 likely hosts, no cache found. *sigh*

Out this way for blue switch day TFTH

Out and about in Whiteman Park and surrounds for the Blue Switch Day event. Cheers parkacruz!

Camels zero. Horses…. Loads. Cache found straight away but had to deinfest to retrieve.

Checked on this cache today and all is good, happy hunting

As previous searchers have mentioned, it is on a busy three way intersection. Couldn't find the cache.

Found. In good condition. Had to wait a few times to retrieve and replace because of passing traffic. TFTF

Nice quick park and grab.

Quick find after enjoying a post iso bevvie at The Hen. TFTC

Tftc. I had to look for Familysteiner. Rookie mistake by her just glancing at the location

Nice and easy find, a short stroll down the road, not many camels around today, thanks for the cache!!

Not a camel in sight but plenty of sheep. Who cares... Nice hide. Tftc

Easy find TFTC

Found after a quick search. TFTC

This is a very busy road. I think I may have been rumbled by the Muggle who has the block next to the cache, he was lurking in the trees on his block and I only spotted him when I returned to the truck.

Not a camel in sight - sheep yes, horses yes, cache yes - but no camels. Thanks parkacruz

Geo-hubby missed it but found on second look. Thanks parkacruz

Just out and about picking up some caches in the area Stopped off here on my way past today. No camels unfortunately, just a horse or two nearby. Cache was a quick spot but retrieving it proved somewhat challenging: the road junction is surprisingly busy with cars coming from all 3 directions constantly + the homeowner opposite was outside working and GZ was in his line of sight + the container was seriously snagged and hard to extract! But... patience patience patience paid off and eventually I had success Phew. TFTC

very quick find, took a little longer to get to the log sheet. Thanks for the cache Parkacruise

Out on the bike today to tackle some caches in the swan valley. Quick find here TFTC

Quick find here on the way home from work. Took a good 5min to extract and replace due to constant traffic. This is one busy intersection! TFTC

A park'n'grab made here under the eyes of the camels. TFTC parkacruz.

That one took a little bit to find! No camels but neighbours seem friendly tftc

Spring by Neva2old!!! She helped me out. Thanks for the hide.

Plans were made a few days ago with Barnzy12 and WebblyWA to come back up to Ellenbrook to try and clear up the massive amount of green dots that appeared after the CO,S event. We were hoping to grab all of them but the weather was terrible and we got soaked after finding the first one lol....The rain kept the muggles away but it didn't help us find some of the caches so I think we ended up with 70 finds and about 10 DNFS. Clearly a lot of hard work went into placing all the caches and I would love to say they were easy finds but that definitely wasn't the case with some of them and im very glad we bought a certain TOTT with us...Mr OOH YEH managed to work out Annies Landing a few days prior and I must admit that was a very creative cache well worth a fav point. Even though we got drenched we still had a fun morning of caching and we will be back in the near future to find the rest of them. TFTC parkacruz

A couple of days ago plans were hatched with ooh yeh and webblywa to spend the day caching around Ellenbrook to pickup all of the new Parkacruz caches that were published at their recent explosion of play event.

We knew we were in for a tough days caching after our FTF hunting efforts were thwarted with a large number of dnfs. It was much easier to find these caches during the daylight hours and after consulting a number of the attributes, precious finders and even the CO we armed ourself with enough info.

In preparation for the day mister ooh yeh had solved the Annie’s landing puzzle and the find there was one of the highlights of the day. The best cache of the day was the Phillips Library which is one of the best made containers I have found in all of my years of caching.

The weather was great for some of the urban hides as the rain managed to keep muggles away and allowed us to cache in peace. Although by the end of the day we were absolutely drowned out.

We ended up with nearly 70 finds for the day, and nearly 10 dnfs which is quite good considering how well placed a number of the containers are. Thanks Parkacruz for a great day out.

Dusk is coming in fast & we are about cached out. One more on the way home. TFTC parkacruz

{*FTF*} I'd only just got home , let out the old dog and made myself a cuppa when the phone went BING_ BING_ BING_BING_. I didn't think it was going to stop. Looked at my phone grabbed the car keys and locked the door. I managed a few ftfs and had an enjoyable afternoon caching. tftc
